      Accessed in December 2011 and April 2016. A marriage license issued at St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, on 13 September 1881 to Frederick Neudorff, of St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, who was over the age of 21 years and Licetta C. Fiegenbaum, of St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, who was over the age of 18 years.
           The return certified that Rev. H. Rienner, "minister of the Gospel," did marry the above name persons at St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri on 14 September 1881 and the Certificate of Marriage was filed for record at St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, on 5 October 1881.
           I believe the Ancestry.com database has misinterpreted the spelling of the bride's given name and surname. Instead of "Licella C." the given name is actualy recorded as "Licetta C." On two occasions, the deputy county recorder, spelled the surname as "Fiegenbaum" and once spelled it as "Feigenbaum."
